Awesome score, You might hit 100!

great finds! I found 2 of the saddle things as well. I thought they may have been some form of rank insignia, but I wasn't sure since I wasn't able to find them online.

These items are harness bosses. I ID'ed them here, with a Civil War era photo, although they were used earlier too:

Congrats man, 90 is definitely in your future, seeing in the past some of your "snow" hunts.

Returning to your first cellar hole is still paying off, I like that, have a similar site (navy button)

I'm afraid winter has set in, in cold country, and I'm about done. Reality is a hard pill to swallow. (laughing smiley)
